Big shoutout to my co-authors @msabrysarhan.bsky.social, Frank Maixner, and Christian Fuchsberger for making this happen! 🙌

Thanks to Eurac Research and @umr-iam.bsky.social for the support, and a special thanks to my friend Sabry for connecting us in the first place ☕️

With this kingdom-wide view, we can trace the deep evolutionary trajectories of #fungal #mitochondria and identify robust new markers for tracking lineages across the tree of life.

This #resource is a launchpad for the next era of discovery.

We mined over 12,000 datasets to fill critical gaps in the fungal tree of life.

The result is unprecedented resolution:
✅ First-ever mitogenomes for 𝟏𝟓 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬, 𝟔𝟒 𝐎𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬, & 𝟓𝟒𝟒 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚

This isn't just an update; it's a new baseline for evolutionary biology.

From human #pathogens to industrial powerhouses, this #dataset was built to be a definitive reference for the entire community.

If you work with fungi, there is a good chance we’ve just recovered the mitochondrial data you’ve been missing. It’s time to ask new questions about fungal evolution 🌍
